This paper deals with sheaves of differential operators on noncommutative algebras. The sheaves are defined by quotienting a the tensor algebra of vector fields (suitably deformed by a covariant derivative) to ensure zero curvature. As an…

Over n-dimensional manifolds, I classify ternary differential operators acting on the spaces of weighted densities and invariant with respect to the Lie algebra of vector fields. For n=1, some of these operators can be expressed in terms of…
